@Maxines1017 @FoxNews My 89 year old mother does. And doesn’t take any blood thinners.

@FoxNews My 90-year old mother never bruises like that. She's slipped off her bed and landed on the floor several times and she's on a daily aspirin. No bruises.

REPORTER: “Bruising on your hand? Are you okay?”
PRESIDENT TRUMP: “Very good.”
REPORTER: “You’re good?”
PRESIDENT TRUMP: “I clipped it on the table. So I put a little, what do they call it? Cream on it. But I clipped it. I would say take aspirin if you like your heart, but don't take aspirin if you don't want to have a little bruising.”
“The doctor said, you don't have to take that, sir. You're very healthy. I said, I'm not taking any chances."
"So anyway, that's one of the side effects of taking aspirin.”

My wife passed in March. Forty-two years of marriage, and then just... silence.
The house felt wrong. Too quiet. Too still. My daughter kept saying I needed "something to care for." I kept telling her I was fine.
I wasn't fine.
One Sunday, I drove to the Arizona Humane Society just to walk around. No intention of adopting anything. Just needed to be somewhere that wasn't my living room.
The volunteer stopped me near the senior wing. "These two have been here eleven months. We waived their adoption fee last week. Still no takers."
Pepper was solid black with a grey muzzle—eight years old, arthritis in his back legs. Salt was pure white with one brown eye and one blue, deaf as a post, same age. Brothers from the same litter, surrendered when their owner went into hospice care.
Eleven months. In Phoenix. In a concrete run with no air conditioning half the year.
"Why won't anyone take them?" I asked.
The volunteer shrugged. "They're old. They're pitbulls. They come as a package deal. People want puppies."
I watched Pepper slowly lower himself onto the cool concrete. Salt curled up right next to him, pressing his white head against his brother's black shoulder. They fit together like puzzle pieces. Like they'd been doing this their whole lives.
Like me and Lorraine used to sleep.
"How much is the fee?" I asked.
"Sir, I told you—it's waived. Nobody wants—"
"I want them."
She stared at me. "Both of them?"
"You think I'm gonna separate two old brothers who've already lost everything once?"
That was four months ago.
Now Pepper sleeps on Lorraine's side of the bed. Salt sleeps on mine. The house isn't quiet anymore—it's full of snoring and the click of nails on hardwood and two grey-muzzled faces waiting by the door when I come home from the grocery store.
They lost their person. I lost mine.
We found each other.

@JonnyRoot_ I'm tired of the mass media with the dumbest questions. They're getting as bad as the political media.

NBC’s Melissa Stark asking Aaron Rodgers about retirement was really unprofessional, in my opinion
Steelers just won a thriller against their arch rival. Read the room…
Also, responding to Rodgers’ answer with “had to ask it”, made it worse.
This is another reason why fans, and many players/coaches, don’t care for these interviews much anymore…

Derrick Henry on his teammate Tyler Loop:
"I feel for Tyler. I just told him to keep his spirits up, deal with it tonight and then tomorrow the sun rises again. I just told him the story after this is gonna be great for him because God put him in this position to use him as an example. Can't wait to see him overcome it on the other side. I just told him to trust God's plan, man. He wouldn't have him put in this position if he wasn't strong enough to handle it."
